3D Printing Continues to Grow 3D Scanning (or is it the other way around?)

In this month's LiDAR news, Direct Dimensions' President Michael Raphael discusses the big news and changes in our industry:

The new year is starting out rather interesting as it relates to news
and change in our 3D scanning industry. We’re not even half way into
March and it would not surprise me if we had more news about 3D scanning
already this year than all of last year – which was already
significantly more than the year prior. What gives? Why is 3D scanning
making the headlines more often? Certainly this is a good thing – more
news means more interest and hopefully more business activity, which is
what we all want for our 3D scanning world. Let’s take a look at some
of the more significant news items so far in this young year and see
what is in common.

At Direct Dimensions we believe strongly in spreading the word about 3D scanning and imaging. For us this often takes the form of education. We often hold classes and demonstrations for college and high school students, professional organizations, and sometimes even interested groups from the community.
